Meeting & Event General Info
We run events throughout the year, split into two categories - social events for all ages at a variety of venues and evening events primarily aimed at parents / carers, which are usually held quarterly at 19:30 at Floor G, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, however we try to use other venues across the region, so please check below for exceptions.
Our main annual event, a subsidised residential trip once a year for 7-11 years olds at Fairthorne Manor, is typically held at the end of the summer half term.

We are a friendly bunch who like to share our experiences, tips on all things T1D and the meetings are usually attended by one of the Paediatric Diabetes team from Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital and Tea and coffee is always available!
